Keep going. All I can say is. No matter what. Keep on trying.

People that lose large quantities of weight, should also qualify to have the extra skin removed. That excess skin isn't just a cosmetic issue, it presents impossible hygiene issues and discomfort from chaffing... It's also a MEDICAL problem.
@@angryKAWAZAKI That's exactly how it should be.
If youâre 600 or 700lbs and lose like 300 lbs that doesnât and shouldnât automatically qualify you for skin removal surgery because you still have a lot of fat still in that skin. If you go from 600 or 700lbs down to 200 lbs you definitely will need skin removal surgery
Facts!!!!!!
Once they get the surgery, Dr. Now gives them a weight goal to get to in order to qualify for skin removal surgery.
Yes!
He put in the work, the blood sweat and tears paid off! Well done!
Respect for his efforts
This guy was abusive. His wife lost part of her finger because of him, and he went back to over eating and gaining weight
You'd think that if he could lose that much weight on his own, he could keep going and continue to lose weight to reach a weight that's healthy. It's safer and better in the long run than the surgery. There are all kinds of problems associated with the surgery.
â@@Aprilann871 Seriously? I thought it said after surgery he worked out everyday?
@@Rumkitty2000 he went back to food watch the episode, I dont remember if it was the first initial episode or the follow up
I remember him, unfortunately he was an abusive pos to his wife and children, he had major anger issues, in hope heâs getting help with that too
đĄ thatâs horrible. And I agree he needs help controlling his bad habits, all his bad habits
Thanks for telling us!
She lost her finger tip because he slammed the door so hard on her hand.........can you imagine ? Controlling POS
How do you know this?
@@Propfaqs at the end of the episode the wife was speaking about how he got physical and left them, she also lost a finger because he slammed it in the door, she started the episode with an intact set of 10!
His huge smile said it all. GREAT!
This guy was an asshole. He went back to eating whatever, and was abusive to his wife, to the point she lost the tip of her finger
This guy makes me so proud of him. I donât even know him but he did it! He made it to where he needed to be! Good on you guy!đ
Maybe itâs just me but it seems insensitive to see this clip posted with no context of what he did afterwards in the âwhere are they nowâ episode.
Dr Now pretty much kicked him off the program after his wife lost the tip of her finger because of his physical abuse. Sheâs in this clip and was also Dr Nowâs patient
Disguting behaviour... Thanks for letting us know.
Did she divorce him ?.I hope so ..
I think he's wife needs to loose weight to she obese he will struggle to keep it off when she eating to much
Wowđź ..i just commented about his smile đź i deleted it after reading this but it just goes to show that you shouldnt take people at face value..literally đĄ
He was awful and abusive to his wife and kids! Dr. Now removed him from the program after he hurt his wife. He slammed a door on her hand and cut the whole end off of one of her fingers. đĄ
What?
đ„
Thatâs awful. I never got that vibe from him but I guess you never know.
I remember that one from his second appearance
â@@cara6465Yep
I know him .. micheal Dominguez..
We went to the same school when we were younger.. he was a big kid then... But it's good to seem him changing his life around.
This guy was awful! He went back to eating and gaining, and being abusive to his wife. He slammed her finger in a door so hard she lost part of it!
Really? I haven't watched the episode that's sad I hope she leaves him
thank you for also commenting this, i did as well to try to give folks a heads up that THATS the guy theyâre praising and it seems as though some are missing it lol
@@rebeccabaggins4138 its sickening. Smh
@@yasalg5545 she did
For real? He backtracked?
Heâs the most functional one Iâve seen. His room is clean, he can cook himself, he can clean up. He can drive.
...and beats his wife...
He also beat the everloving shit out of his wife, to the point she had to have a fingertip amputated, and Dr Now kicked him off the program for his abusive behavior đ©đ©
So so, very happy for Michael! Hang in there, Michael, you can do this! Donât give up, no matter what! You are on your way! Truly, just hang in there, praying for you to continue on!
He was awful and abusive to his wife and kids! Dr. Now removed him from the program after he hurt his wife. He slammed a door on her hand and cut the whole end off of one of her fingers.
I sincerely hope he continues to lose weight. He should feel good that he is exercising and working out. I hope He gets help on eating healthy. I think its great he has his brother helping him. Sending prayers your way . đ
Iâm proud of him. May he live a life of health and happiness
This is a spouse issue also. The wives/ husbands are grossly overweight. Doing the plan together would benefit both. I hope the wife loses with her husband or she will be the next 600 pound client. Good luck. He is so motivated.đ
hi just wanted to drop this comment for anyone who didnât know - this guy literally abuses his wife and in the episode (or the where are they now, i donât remember) it is shown that due to him slamming a door on her hand, she actually is forced to lose part of one of her fingers. heâs a complete jackass but she goes onto lose weight and i believe even get her own weight loss surgery.
Yeah! Bl**dy hell! No need & he had me fooled as seemed like a 'nice guy'.đź
I was just going to say the same thing. This abuser is a P.O.S
I think she left him
Yep. He sure did. I remember this guy.
Hang out your own dirty laundry!
Everyone of us are guilty according to God- whatâs yours?
Start with THAT!
Youâre judging !
Speak the truth- your OWN wrongS!!!
What a good wife! She quit enabling him.
she quit him altogether according to one comment, it didn't work out very well.
Wow, you've done Great. I was glad to hear your Dr has approved your surgery. I was in tears-tearsđą of Joy when I heard the good news for you. Keep up the good work. Glad your family is Encourging you also. That really is a motivator also. Keep on praying like you mentioned that is our biggest helper from above. He Really does listen to prayers...
Congrats!
No excuse for anyone getting this big. No excuse for any man to abuse his wife and kids, either. What a jerk. Glad Dr. Now kicked him off the program. He should go to jail for assault
I am happy he gets to have his surgery, but I always keep wondering why go through with surgery if you have just proven you can lose that much weight in 2 months time with the right lifestyle choices.
Because they need to lose weight faster than that if they donât want to accumulate a lot of health problems. Thatâs what Dr Now says.
Helps lose the weight faster
â He was awful and abusive to his wife and kids! Dr. Now removed him from the program after he hurt his wife. He slammed a door on her hand and cut the whole end off of one of her fingers. đĄ
I can tell you are a survivor and sharing your beautiful inspiring spirit and your wonderful family you have gives inspiration and hope to thousands of people struggling not just with fitness and nutrition but being a life survivor who bravely continues lifes obstacles sweat struggle no matter how hard it is. Your personality and family are inspiring! You are educating people about finding their right track and enjoying sweat and work it is a good feeling isnt it! Nice smile!â€
He was an asshole who beat his family and had an anger issue.
Too much attitude and disrespect towards his wife and familyâŠI would have left him along time ago.đ€·đœââïžJust shameful!
laziness v hunger helped me a lot w my eating habits. i stopped binge eating and only ate if i made myself food. i have a much healthier relationship with food now. it was a struggle though.
iâm proud of him.
I love how Dr Now tells it how it is without blaming.
I'm so very proud of him! đđ«đđŒđ
This guy is a loser. U must not have watched his episode. Did you see what he did to his wife? Plus he went back to eating and gaining
Dear reader in case somebody told you in a while you're important your loved your beautiful your kind your intelligent you're a good parent you're a good daughter you're a good son you're a good student you're a good worker don't ever let anyone tell you anything else and know that Jesus loves you so so much much love big hugs..
Alexa got an account!

God bless you my sister†love you toođ
God bless you too.â€
Awww thankk u â€đą
This guy was an abuser who shut his wife's hand in a door. She dumped him.
May God bless you and be strong Bro, you are doing well đȘ keep it up.
We as a society need to have a much greater sense of awareness when it comes to body shaming people who suffer from obesity.
Hopefully his wife joins him, she doesn't look like she's too far behind him.
I love this!! No matter how much you weigh or have to fight through, you can do this!! đ
that man could be my brother props tlc and my 600 pound life for bringing my likeness to the show.
Good for him- continued success! â„ïžđšđŠ
Apparently this dude beats his wife
He has a great smile n is very handsome!
Dropping from 10k to 1.2k in calories is ridiculous! You could cut down to just a quarter of those calories and still lose
Eating 10k calories is insane.
@Melissa Downing -George I agree! But cutting to 5000kcl would still result in weightloss, maybe more achievable longterm.
Agree but it's a dramatic tv show!!!
The reason for the drastic calorie change isnât only for weight loss. Dr. Now wants to make them understand itâs going to be a battle. So this is a way to prove they are going to be able to handle it. Not only that but when they have surgery they find out that even the 1200 calories is possible to get in. Idk đ€·đœââïž seems to make a lot of sense to me. God bless
damnnnn surprised he fit through the door
Damn đ©
What a wonderful man with no excuses. He just seems like a lovely person.
Abusive to wife, slammed her hand in the door causing her to lose her fingertip. Kicked out of Dr Nowâs program for doing so. He ainât no lovely person in my eyesâŠ
â@@sharong8511Can't nobody judge someone except God because we are all sinners. In terms of his determination and weight loss accomplishments he did awesomeđ
@@VP-kr2vd
We can certainly determine by observing othersâ behaviour whether or not we would care to be friends with someone! We judge thousands of things each and every day. Just read any Fakebook comments section.
@@VP-kr2vd wrong you can judge people just judge righteously
He was awful and abusive to his wife and kids! Dr. Now removed him from the program after he hurt his wife. He slammed a door on her hand and cut the whole end off of one of her fingers. đĄ
I watch so many of these shows without them showing the final results so disappointing.
You know, whenever viewers see these shows, it's just like anything else, really. Some people are going to succeed wonderfully. Some people are going to fail miserably. This guy shows real perseverance and determination. and his family is really supportive, not enabling his weight problem. Which is really great!!
Iâm proud of this young man
If you are thinking about weight loss surgery, just eat like you had it and lose weight on your own. It would suck to only be able to eat a few bites at a time. If you can lose 100lbs, just keep going.
much safer way to do it.
That's bs. Someone who has gained this much weight has an eating disorder and most likely hormonal issues from years of abuse to the body. The weight loss surgery also helps with hormones and gives an initial boost. Stop shaming people.
@musique1o1 Yeah. I know a guy who eats all day long. Bags of candy at night, sweet coffee at Starbucks. Cookies and cakes. Entire bags of chips. It never stops. So the answer is to put a band around his stomach, so he can't eat anything? OK. That's one option. The other option is self-control. Stop eating sugar all day. I'm just saying "try" self-control first. If you can't do it, then go ahead and have surgery. It sucks not to be able to eat anything after the surgery.
@@johnyracercat I agree alot of people have had weightloss surgery and gained every single pound back due to no self control
@@johnyracercat i worked with a lady that had the surgery. I noticed she only ate 2-3bites of food at a time or not at all during lunch breaks. If she ate something she wasnt suppose to it came right back up. She was super tiny too. But she showed me a pic before surgery in purple sweats and said "i use to look like Barney" i almost cried. I heard she gained her weight back after years of being under 100 pds. I just dont understand that part. All that pain,suffering and work for nothing.
Truly miraculous!đ
I was cheering this dude on when i saw all the better moves he made, well done man!
I can see that he Lost Weight.
I'm glad the young man decided to follow Dr Nows advice and lost the weight. Hope the young man. does better and gets to where he's healthy
Good for you man. It's hard.. push on. Live for your family.
how do you even let yourself get like that in the first place
I'm proud of him but him wife should do the diet with him,I think that would encourage him to lose more.
You are absolutely amazing you have reached your goal that so orsome congratulations to you love it was hard but got easier as it went on beautifully done my friend you need a medal đ„
Itâs a shock to me when the people on this show are so concerned with exercise. A person that size needs a large calorie deficit and they wouldnât even have to move to drop massive amounts of weight very quickly. Itâs not the exercise itâs the food..
I think the exercise from the Dr's pov is to get them moving and actually using their joints and not letting them just die because of nonmovement.
@@theod37 yes itâs to increase stamina. Work of the heart needs to improve for surgery. The people on the show always mention it as if itâs contributing largely to their lack of weight loss. Itâs the food!!
@kaylasimpson4458 Oh yeah no disagreement there. I might have misunderstood your original comment, sorry! I think I read it as the dr pushing exercise not the patients. My bad!
His wife is headed in the same direction
the whole family is eating the wrong food and the mother fed him is part of his problem.
This is so wholesome.âŁâŁ
Its just so scary how people get so big that they eat themselves into oblivion đź almost like the food industry wants people to get sick..so very sad..this young man has huge potential if he loses the weight
Hi.I just now got this video how did it end for this young man?đđ¶
His mother or his girlfriend is in trouble.
The only thing with these stories that I don't understand is that if the people are actually able to lose, for example 50-100lb in a couple months by shear determination and diet change, why do they still need the surgery....?
Very few people are successful in keeping their weight down even with the surgery. You are left with a stomach the size of a golf ball and are supposed to learn how to eat healthy foods. A woman I knew who had the surgery continued to eat crap and drink sodas all day long. She did lose some weight; her highest weight was around 300, 350 lbs. This is Canada where health care is mostly free. I havenât seen her lately but I did see her daughter, who after two pregnancies is a good 375 lbs. Nature or nurture? The grandmother was also a very large person.
I'm cheering for this guy . That's really gotta suck
Michael did so good, but then he went and destroyed his marriage and his weightloss.
Lovely young man may he lose the weight and it better your life for ever.
Good luck young man...I'm cheering you on ...
He really tried his hardest great job man
Iâm so glad for him
Do Keto Diet instead of Surgery.....!
Cant wait to see the follow up yrs later after this. Luck to you bro.
Good luck ..I hope this all works out
The pan to his heavy wife after the dr says your family is feeding you đđđđ
Didnât watch the vid yet but judging from the title, thatâs HUGE progress omg
i wish you the best man, keep it up
10,000 calories in one day... every single day. how do you even get to that point?!
I eat about 2000 calories a day and normally feel pretty satisfied. I canât imagine eating 5 times that amount on a daily basis. He is such an inspiration to people fighting obesity.
@@aeromedical6750 its not about eating 5x the quantity its the calories themselves, he could be eating 1.5x what you eat in a day physically but the calories by 5x as much because of the food choices he makes
Trauma maybe.
Practice đ
Eight 200g blocks of chocolate 8 litres of coke lol. Seriously, thats 10K calories. Show has to be exaggerating? Even with the most calorie dense foods I can think of, it's crazy, that's two whole blocks of chocolate and a 2L bottle of coke FOUR TIMES A DAY.
Good on him.. He should feel proud for working hard to achieve his goals.....đ
I am so proud of this Man, Micheal if you are reading this I am so proud of you :)
Bless your heart
Yâall saying this woman isnât too far behind him?? đ sheâs a bigger woman but sheâs not 600 lbs jfc
LETS GO DOMINGUEZ !!!!!!!!!!!! Anything is possible YOU GOT THIS !!!!!!!
No you got this
If I was facing a potential life-saving surgery approval where a weigh-in would make or break the decision, I sure as hell would not be lifting weights and potentially adding lean mass. Thatâs for afterwards.
They're bringing back 1000 pound sisters and guess who got married in regab..yep. Tammy.
How do you even get this big I mean come on who afford that amount food
People enable them
@@Rumkitty2000 makes sense
@@williamjohnson4597 Oh yeah. Didn't you hear him say that when he had to get up and cook for himself and start moving around, it made a huge difference. Going to the grocery store and walking around with a cart and not being out of breath for the first time. Somebody feeding these people is how they got this big.
Congratulations, keep up the good work
That smile when he said the wheelchair was gathering dust đ„ș
I have a genuine question. If they are able to lose 100lbs in just a few months with minor changes in their lifestyle, does that proof in the long run that they might not need the weight loss surgery to achieve their goal? I know there are many factors that go into the process, mostly psychological issues. I've been watching a lot of these videos lately and suddenly this question popped in my head. I would be glad to read your answers. âș
I think that yes, it's not necessary, but basically, it helps to keep the process going without having to struggle doing it for a longer time.
It is still necessary. Their stomach has been stretched out so big, at least the size of a watermelon, itâs impossible for it to return to its normal size by itself. Just like their skins, both need surgeries to take the excess out. Inside and out.
And yeah, what ming guy said, once your shin is stretched out, the stretch marks won't go away by themselves.
who ends up paying for these surgeries that usually don't make a difference in the long run for most people?
TLC.
How is that a new episode is on here particularly and not on the app......what is going this is nuts.
God bless him. And pray he gets all the help he needs đ
I have never seen anybody this size anywhere in Europe this is unbelievable
đâ€so proud of his efforts..awesome
His wife lost part of her finger during filming because of his abuse. Plus he started gaining his weight back
@April Ann đČ đ± that's terrible I didn't see that wow
@@maryrios5986 it happened during filming
Why is he approved a handicapped status? Put his parking permit the furthest from the entrance possible.
Now this is the first i mean first episode ive watched and was proud of the cooker, for telling him their not cooking for him anymore and for the weight lose person for really say ok fuck the bullshit, i got to get my shit together. Great job
As positive as the outcome can be, even for him, half the work needs to be about why they eat so much. How it affects the relationship with food.
208kg ...omg đ±! Friends, no one sees what u eat , society demand how u look , take care of ur health & body .. sending lots of love đ„°
As a former obese person and by medical standards sorta am but by normal people standards not? I know all too well on how this feels! Food is not good but itâs like a drug. It makes you feel that good of a high and you cannot get enough of it and you feel like the second someone criticizes or makes fun of you? You go out to eat more. It is still a pain a year and a half in but I have went from 550 to 320 without ANY medical help such as surgery and etc. I got some love handles and a tiny bit of belly that discourages me, but I pulled through it. First I was keeping track of my steps slowly starting around 500 to 1k then as I got used to doing 1k steps a day on my I watch Iâd go double. No pain no game. First the weight came off really quick, but now itâs falling off slower! I went from 2K steps all the way to 5 as of 4 months ago and 5K to 7K and now from 7K to 8 then over 10k steps now for the past 7days! Exactly 5miles outside a day or just in my kitchen floor walking! I feel so good to of shredded 250pounds off of my body! You have no idea how good it feels and not to have loose skin or extra anything or even surgery! đ€đ» The only thing I did take advantage of is Ozempic because of being diabetic 2
Man Dr. Now is savage!
Congratulations

That wife needs it too
she got the surgery herself apparently, after she left him.
Some people have edema problems
Every little counts. It may take time and dedication but in the end its worth it.
out of all the other episodes ive seen, atleast this guy cooks his own food sometimes. He not as lazy as the others.
dannnnm foo lil homie looks like his been in the pinta for a minute them sock all the way up đ€Ł
Most of the comments are saying he seems so sweet but from what ive heard from friends that watch this show... he was an abusive husband and father and thats why he got kicked out of the program.
Dr.Ken Berry on youtube would tell Dr. Now to put his patients on Carnivore diet or Keto diet and Intermittent fasting?
